Interfaith Today Show Notes

Welcome to the show notes for the podcast Interfaith Today. The purpose of this podcast is to highlight the work of the global Interfaith Movement. My name is Rowan Fairgrove and I've started this podcast because I see that there is wonderful, life-affirming work being done in the interfaith context. And yet, the mainstream media isn't interested unless there is conflict involved. I mean this podcast and this site to be a forum for the stories of hope and cooperation.

Interfaith Today, episode two

This episode features a talk called "URI's Vision" given by the Reverend Canon Charles Gibbs, the Executive Director of the URI, at the joint North American Interfaith Network NAINconnect and URI North American Summit in August 2005. I talk a bit about NAIN and my experience at NAINconnect/URI-NA Summit and then just let Charles' speech run. Listening to it again really got me inspired.

The next NAINconnect will be held Friday June 23 - Tuesday, June 27, 2006 at Vancouver School of Theology in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Plenary speakers will include Douglas Roche, Farid Esack, Helen Caldicott and Mel Hurtig. NAINconnect is running concurrently with the World Peace Forum and thus will provide many opportunities to network and celebrate peace. The Multifaith Action Society is the local host for NAINconnect.

Please consider checking out the wonderful Celtic band, Emerald Rose who gave me permission to use their music clips. The song you hear at the beginning and ending is "Come by the Hills" from their album Bending Tradition.

Belated credits

Wow. There is just so much to think about! Now that it is published I notice that I never mentioned the website in the first podcast. And I didn't credit the music! The wonderful Celtic band, Emerald Rose gave me permission to use their music clips. The song you hear at the beginning and ending is Come by the Hills from their album Bending Tradition.
